Last game of my board gaming spree was just played. It was a two player Talisman with random ending (proved to be Battle Royale)
Characters drawn were Amazon and Vampiress. And game started really fast!
Vampiress got beaten up all the time during first turns, even Craft 1 monsters drained her of life. So, her amazing healing abilities really paid off! She won, however, some tough Strenght monsters and managed to rise her Strenght pretty soon.
Amazon was the same, she actually won a strenght 5 monster without any kind of a help. From there she got a Unicorn and both players collected trophies around the board. Amazon got a teleport to middle region early on and didn't want to go away from there once she got the unicorn, because Vampiress could steal any followers.
Well, Vampiress got a Rune Gate early in the game to outer region and Amazon got a Phantom card in one of the runes space that granted a wish for an evil character. Vampiress tried many many many rounds to go to the rune gate and eventually succeeded. She teleported to runes space, got a wish and stole the unicorn from Amazon too. Fair game?
Well, Amazon had her share of luck, too. She drew both poltergeist and magic stream at the same time and managed because of that to take all four strenght points from stream.
Then Amazon proceeded to kill Eagle King with a Soul Shatter and teleported to Warlock's cave. Treasure she got was the Dreadwing (a follower). Vampiress got Soul Shatter herself because she had Spell Call -spell with her.
Vampiress stole Dreadwing too and rode to kill Lord of Darkness and got the Cloak of Feathers.
At that time Amazon with Poltergeist was slowly getting to Crown of Command, and didn't really botch any rolls during her journey in the inner region.
Random ending turned out to be Battle Royale, so then it was Vampiress versus Amazon. Amazon beat Vampiress' face during her turns with her strenght of 8 versus Vampiress' strenght 6. During Vampiress' turns she made a psychic combat against Amazon with craft 7 versus Amazon's craft 4.
Amazon had a Heal spell, so it kind of was Amazon's 6 life versus Vampiress' 9 (Vampiress had four followers she could drain in case of need) and barring amazing rolls game was clear for Vampiress.
And so it was. Vampiress won.
This game only strenghtened my opinion that Vampiress has one life too much.
